Congratulations to Jill with Amiryck Shaula (Poppy) who passed her Gold Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme Award - the youngest dog ever at "Devon Dogs" to have done this. Poppy is Daisy and Tennant's sister for those of you who follow our blog and know them.
Tennant also won Best Puppy and Best in Breed last weekend, for the second week running. A pretty good way to celebrate your first birthday I would think! Congratulations to Sam and him.

Successful weekend for dogs and alpaca
We have had a very busy weekend this weekend. Karen and the children were showing the alpaca and Richard took Daisy to her first Spring Pointing Test.
Daisy excelled herself and was the youngest of the 3 dogs (out of 16) to be graded, at 11 months of age. We are thrilled with her. Fantastically all 3 dogs to be graded were wires.
We also did well with our brown alpaca and won 2nd and 3rd in our large class. Cinnamon then went on to win Reserve Champion Brown Huacaya - not bad for her first show. The children showed 2 of the alpaca for me.

Grouse Pointing
Richard, Daisy and Cally went on a trip to the Yorkshire Moors last weekend to do some Grouse Pointing. Daisy took to it very well. Richard was thrilled by the pictoral evidence he was able to gather.....

Full of the joys of spring
You can always tell when the weather is getting warmer....when the alpacas start paddling!
Dogs and alpacas are happy to share the water....

Halter Training
We decided to do a spot of halter training this afternoon. Although Clover has been on the halter a number of times in order to go to the futurity, Cinammon has only been on once and Calendiva hasn't at all. As you can see Clover and Cinnamon were very well behaved, however Calendiva would rather be elsewhere......I promise, despite how it may look in the photo, Richard wasn't actually kicking her!!!
